new paintings

I call these new whimsical, acrylic paintings my 2017 Baja Series as I created them while down in Todos Santos, Baja, Mexico this year. They are acrylic on wood panel with 3/8″ to 1/2″ black painted sides and a 3/8″ to 1/2″ wood block glued on the back of the painting so they stick out from the wall. They are wired and ready to hang. They all have vibrant colors and I love the way they came out! The backs…

I finally chose my word to represent 2015. It has been a tradition for many as the new year approaches to choose a word to focus on to set the intention for the year. Actually, last year, I don’t think I chose a word. But “Focus” was my word for 2013. This year I chose a word a little late in the game. It was January before I finally decided what it would be. It wasn’t until I painted this…

I dedicate it to all those who have traveled through the snow and are thankful how well a VW bug plows through! I know, I’ve been there. They are amazing in the snow.

I love making these bike and raven art pieces! This one was a commissioned painting. It was requested to use primary colors and put their little doggie in the painting. I think it is a fun piece and it was really fun to create! All my bicycle and raven paintings have a hidden word in the painting that is from the title of the piece. Sometimes the word is very obvious and this one’s word is “Ride.” You can see…

I wanted to share with you a recent commissioned painting and a little about the story behind it. Rumi Flute is a performer, composer and recording artist in L.A. She specializes in jazz and other music on flute. She holds a Master of Music degree in Afro-Latin Music Performance from California State Los Angeles. This would be Rumi’s first CD and she wanted to find an artist that she connected with who she could commission to do a colorful painting…

This raven painting cracks me up. When the title came to me, I just laughed. It seemed fitting. I love that my raven has a personality named Mr. Raven. He’s a bit mysterious, a bit devious, definitely the trickster! Print added to my Etsy Shop.

This new acrylic painting titled “Pure Delight” is filled with Spring colors! I love the use of lavender which is new for me. I haven’t used a lot of this color lately but I think I may again because I really like the look of it next to the yellow and orange. This painting is inspired by my love of mt. biking! I love swooshing down a trail. It’s pure delight. And it makes me smile thinking of a raven…

I’ve created some small, colorful expressionist paintings for sale and put them in my Etsy Shop. They uplift the spirit and radiate with color! I’ve put a sprinkle of stardust glitter on each one so they will sparkle with positive energy! There is something about that little sparkle of glitter that makes them feel magical. I love looking at them all lined up in a row. These mini originals are made with acrylics on 5″ x 5″ gallery wrapped canvas. They are wired and…

The Twitter Art website says, “Twitter Art Exhibit: Los Angeles is the third installment of an open international exhibition of handmade postcard art for charity, donated by hundreds of participating artists from around…

These are the peace tree paintings I worked on yesterday in the studio. They still have more layers to go but this shows a good start. I build up layers with the black. I especially like the way it looks like aspen markings in the tree trunk. I mainly worked on the two on the left yesterday. Today the one on the right is calling to me. I like watching them progress by taking the photos.

I’ve finished some new paintings and I’ll be posting them here in the weeks to come. It’s been fabulous painting again in my Baja studio! I love the light and looking at palm trees and the view of the ocean. I feel very grrateful for the opportunity to create art in this kind of setting. I’ll first put my new work on the VIP page of my website for those who have access to view first and then a week later I’ll…
